I finally did it and it was horrible!!!!
Ok, so I get a sitter and pack my bag! I have my music and dance moves together. I do my makeup @ home and I'm ready to roll! I get to the club the only club that's auditioning @ 8:30 pm, so the manager tells me over the phone! (showntell)
I get there on time and ask the guys in the book store where do I go to audition? They take me to the manager and he's talking to some of the other girls. He tells me about the schedule and asked me it the hour etc were ok, I agree. He tells me to go in the back and get dressed.I go in the dressing room and Im thinking to myself It wasn't as dirty as I thought it would be from the reviews people on SW made!
So none of the girls say anything they just ALL look me up and down! It was like 9th grade and being the new girl and All the 12th grade girls hating on you! So I look at them and smile, didn't say a word just smiled.
Then I go in the bathroom to change and there's a girl on the toilet I excuse myself for walking in on her. She says it 's cool everybody does it /:O .She says "how old are you 18" I say "no 23 why"? her"what took you so long" me"I've been doing other things".
Then as she's leaving the manager walks in and says whos in the bathroom. I say "Im in here" He leaves! I finally get dressed and another girl walks in looks me up and down. Oddly enogh she looks like she could be my long lost sister!!!! I guess she was pissed because we looked alike.
Anyway I'm thinking that I would go on stage and do my thing and see what happens! NOPE the manager tells me I'm going up with my long lost sister and another girl! :O So that means custies will be watching me! So I'm like fuck it it's now or never!!!!!
So I 'm getting ready streching etc. I go to the floor wher my sister and the manager are talking, I ask her "where is the DJ i wanted to ask him to play my song" She says" they just play a cd with the same songs over and over! :O So that threw me for a little loop!
Now it's show time, the manager tells me to get onstage! I ask where do you want me to stand. He gets pissed "stand anywhere" OK! He told me when the bell rings then I'm done. I'm dancing and I look around and notice I'm dancing a tad too fast. But I didn't want to stop and slow up , so whatever. Acouple of guys see me and come over. Then the bell rings and in thinking Im done I look at the manager and he tells me I'm not done!wtf so I 'm still dancing and dancing and dancing so about 4 songs in he tells me to come off stage.
Then we go into the dressing room and he tell me OH i didn't mean you were done I just wanted to get the girl out of here to go on the floor. then he tells me to go back up there.
So I 'm back up there dancing to two more songs asshole naked and finally he tells me Im done! I jump off the stage and he tells me to get dressed and come back out and he'll talk to me. So I know at this point It did'nt go too well because I can hear the girl talking about me dancing to fast and how they were when they first started!
So I come back out and he asked me for my name and # and tells me that he does all the auditions for the week and calls back who he wants to hire. As I'm leaving the bouncer asked me why I was leaving so soon I tell him the BS the manager told me.Then the guys in the bookstore ask me why I'm leaving and I tell them they tell me some other clubs to go to.
I'm still determined to be a dancer even if this doesn't pan out! I'm going to another club tonight to audition. I'll keep you posted. I should have really went to a club to see how they dance before I auditioned. I would have done alot better!!!
Re: I finally did it and it was horrible!!!!
yeah that would have been a good idea! :)
so all that was just the auditoion??? craziness i have never had to audition like that.
definately go do some watching and then try again....try to relax, some girls arent friendly and will do the whole looking at you crazy thing---just dont pay attention. try to find a club where they at least play different music not just a cd over over geez.
ps--before you audition, ask about all that stuff like how the dj/music works, how long you will be on stage, etc etc

Ok blame stripperweb for this one.
Its a widely held misconception here that girls actually pick thier own music,SPECIALLY girls who are auditioning.
Most times,the girls who are auditioning,are dancing with other girls on stage(and you dont want to pick,its thier set,your the auditioning chic,you will be dancing to THIER music)
Alot of times girls will dancing in the back room for thier audition,while the girl is out front on the stage,dancing to the music to her set.
Its best to scout out the club first,kinda get to know the routine,it takes an hour or so,just sitting there as a custie.
You can realy learn alot.
If they play R/B and rock as thier format,and you dance to rock,I would listen to the r/b station for a few days and make sure you can dance to it before your audition,and vica versa.
You sound to me like your going to do ok with this.
keep us posted!!!!
Re: I finally did it and it was horrible!!!!
OK, so tonight me and my cousin go to EVERY strip club in philly and jersey! We started out about 4pm to about 11:30pm. we stayed at each club for about half hour to about 45 mins. We watched sooooo many girls! The clubs in jersey were not as jammed packed as the clubs in philly.
The girls in Jersey seemed to be a little more friendly than the philly girls.We went to alot clubs where the custies wanted to pay us for dances!We went to Risque(philly) and one guy was leaving and thought we worked there and wanted to say to get a lapdance from me. When I told him we were just looking he said "I'm outta here then". We went to Signatures ,Gold Club and Oasis. Some of the girls gave us looks when came in.
Then on to jersey's risque it was dead and the doorman wanted us to pay a cover!I don't think so!then we go to the playhouse to check it out. The styles of dances were different than in philly! Another guy wanted a dance and when I told him I didn't work there he asked me where was the manager so he could ask him If I could dance for him.
We only stayed for about 20 minutes and went to illusions the girls were really nice! I actually called them for an audition they told me Sat @ 7pm ask for the DJ! I get there and the manager wasn't there so no audition until Monday. It was a much smaller place than I expected.
The girls I spoke with told me they make about $300-400 a night.They didn't have a VIP room just a bar. This older guy came up to me to ask when I was auditioning when I told him I wasn't he said he'd be back on Monday to see me!
So I'm almost certain I can be a dancer! We also went to cheeks, Erotic Care and Delilah's. By the time we got to Delilah's Id seen enough to know what to do for my next audition! I spent $80 on gas,I better get hired at one of these clubs!
Re: I finally did it and it was horrible!!!!
Damn I wish I could've went along on this roadtrip- sounds like a great idea lol.
Good luck on your auditions!
Re: I finally did it and it was horrible!!!!
i have NEVER heard of an audition like that
MY GOD i would have been mortified. all auditions i've been to were like a basic set during working hours. so i didnt stick and and wasnt nervous.
But i would have never made it through it ..with basically .. what .. 6 songs!!! and butt naked?!!?! and with other girls onthe same stage and bells? jesus i would have cried.
you are a trooper for not freaking out.

Oh yeah, maybe you could also try Satin Dolls in nj. A friend of mine went there about 2 weeks ago, he looked around and didn't notice and af-am women. My friend is Italian and loves black women.....He went up to the manager to ask why, and he was told "we hire them but some don't like to work, the others don't come back."
Don't know if he was blowing smoke or whatever, but its just a suggestion. Uhh I don't know your ethnicity or not, just going by your s/n. *smile*
Re: I finally did it and it was horrible!!!!
Sounds like you made a connection!!!!!!

im not saying it was a love connection,but it sure seemed to give you a good feeling,and alot of this is about following your guts.
I dont know the club,so i cant tell you its a good idea,but from the impression it gave you,this may be a great place to start for you.
Re: I finally did it and it was horrible!!!!
Which Delilah's did you visit the one in Philly or the one in NJ? If you want to audition at the one in Philly I used to work there you can PM me and I"ll help you out.
Re: I finally did it and it was horrible!!!!
We went to the one in NJ. I've been to the one in philly and I hear you have to work days when you first start out. I can't work days, so it would be no point to try them!I also want to work on my hustle and learn pole tricks before I go to the big leauges ;) ! thanks anyway. Pleasurevictim I am African-american I forgot about satindolls,I'll be sure to check them out if we go on another stripclub search thanx!biggreen I also think Illusions would be a nice place for me to get my feet wet we'll see! I'll keep you posted :)
Re: I finally did it and it was horrible!!!!
Chocolate, you could also try Wizzards... I started there, and it's not as bad as everyone makes it sound.
Re: I finally did it and it was horrible!!!!
I heard some good things about Wizzards, like basketball players go there and spend alot my friend told me...but you know that's just stripper talk so you can never be sure..
Re: I finally did it and it was horrible!!!!
There's a wide range of everything at Wizzards. This is the pretty much the source of both its charms and its frustrations.
Re: I finally did it and it was horrible!!!!
Red do alot of upenn/usp frat guys go there? I also heard some good things about them a couple years back. The recent bad things I've heard made me think it was pointless to go and look. I'll check it out and let you know how it was!
Re: I finally did it and it was horrible!!!!
I am so glad you didn't let that 1st audition scare you off. I have never auditioned like that, it sounds incredibly f-d up. I don't think I would have been willing to stay at a place like that even if they did hire me! I think your gonna make it in strippersville!!! Good for you girl!
Re: I finally did it and it was horrible!!!!
definitely keep us posted as to where you end up working
just curious....what was your impression of Signatures? If you came at night, I was probably there.

I was there a few weeks ago...as a custie of course. As a custie, it's not really condusive to 'hanging' with the girls, as the whole dance area is about 5 feet behind a T-shaped bar. The only time you 'hang' with the girls is if they come up and ask for a dance. To be honest, it's not very personal, and the other custies (on a Friday night at 10-11:30) definitely were not college kids.
Also, it's dark and a little dirty, especially in the couch area. I made the mistake of putting my hand on the floor...
I had an ok time, but I'd rather go elsewhere.
Hope that helps - from a custie perspective.
